I noticed this trying to get to the Heroku homepage, then checking another couple Heroku hosted sites I know of. Neither this nor the prior DNS issue affected our applications using CloudFront however.
Seemed to be short lived for us. Total 5 mins downtime.
"they figured why give it away for free and pulled the plug" /s
We had a site on CloudFlare lose its DNS settings earlier, I seem to remember them emailing us about upgrading their DNS systems so maybe it's all related.
Interestingly, one of our Vercel apps was down too (got alerts for both app.codecrafters.io and codecrafters.io at the same time) - might've been a wider DNS outage? Resolved in 4 minutes for us.
Perhaps another NS1 outage? That’s what took down Heroku last time.
What's NS1? Is it related to the root zone hosting or is this just a company with a funny name?
They are a DNS hosting company that has been there for like, forever, since the days of zoneedit. Think AWS Route53, but run by a different company that only has that product. Clever name, "NS1", named after the ns1, ns2. etc domain names that are used for nameservers.
It feels confusing to everyone who isn’t a customer of them I think
Never heard of NS1, but if they are one of the veterans, then there should probably be concern on why they are having problems?
Yes,it's down again
at this point it is better to move to a self-hosted dokku at once.
